Note: You should begin the commissioning process by selecting a blueprint in the Blueprint tab.
In the Partition Attributes tab, provide appropriate information in the following fields and then click Next:
Partition Image Name*: Type a name for the partition image. This should be unique across the fabric because it is required for monitoring the state and health of the partition images within FM LAN subnet. This field is mandatory.
Notes:
The maximum length of the partition image name can be 15 alphanumeric characters along with “-”. The name cannot start with the character “-”.
The following is a list of names that you cannot use to name a partition image:
| 0 | forward-system | forwardsystem | localhost |
| FMP-1 | FMP-2 | secure-fabric | securefabric |
| secure-fabrics | securefabrics | ip-lan | iplan |
| fmlan | fm-lan | hdlan | hd-lan |
| physical-fabric | physicalfabric | physicalfabrics | physical-fabrics |
| switch | switches | forwardsystems | cpf-system |
Host Computer*: Type the name of the host computer. This field is mandatory.
Notes:
The host computer name should be unique across the fabric if partition images are connected within the same customer LAN subnet.
The maximum length of the host computer name can be 15 alphanumeric characters along with “-”. The name cannot start with the character “-”.
Initial State on Platform Reboot: Select an option to set the initial state of the partition after a platform reboot. The available options are Running and Stopped. The default option is Running.
Note: The Initial State value does not apply to the partition images that are currently disabled.
Description: Type a description for the partition image. This field is optional.
Note: Provide a meaningful description for the partition image. The maximum length of the description can be 256 alphanumeric characters along with space, “-”, and “.”. The length of any word in the description should not exceed 20 characters. It is recommended to add details of the ports added to the partition.
Login Credentials: Type a password in the Password* field and confirm the password in the Confirm Password* field. This field is mandatory.
Notes:
This password is used by the default Administrator (Windows) or root (Linux) account during commissioning for initial setup of the operating system. These credentials should only be used for commissioning and you should change these temporary credentials when you complete the initial installation and configuration of your operating system. Refer to the operating system documentation for more information.
You may enter a fictitious value if you are commissioning a Linux partition image from customer-supplied images. The host computer name and password from your prepared Linux operating system are captured as part of the image that you have created. Use that information to access your Linux partition image; the information in the host computer name and password fields during commissioning is ignored.
